Empower links participants with essential support like housing, mental health care, career coaching, and education—laying the groundwork for a fresh start.
Access real opportunities in manufacturing, healthcare, and more—focused on sustainable, meaningful employment.
Our comprehensive wraparound model includes pre-release strategies, mentorship, and long-term support.
Building emotional resilience and promoting job readiness through a personalized, healing-centered approach.
Every participant is matched with a CHW who’s walked the walk—offering guidance, mentorship, and trust.
Empower is more than a program—it’s a movement to end the cycle, promote desistance, and uplift every man’s potential.
